Robert Zemeckis has already directed a series of cult movies between 1985 and 1990, known by all: Back to the Future. Based on a novel, he is, in 1994, the director of Forrest Gump, which earned multiple Academy Awards, with the creation of the original character: a not very clever but endearing and with prodigious sport skills young men, played by the third highest-grossing actor in North America: Tom Hanks (Saving Private Ryan - 1998, Saving Mr. Banks - 2013, Sully - 2016). This film follows his life, from his beginning at school, until he founded his family, by way of the Vietnam War, his sportive exploits and the shrimps-fishing (it’s not a joke). We discover how he met all the people that constitute his life and what part they will play in this movie.
With this wonderful story, which follows the biggest events of the 20th century of the United States (Pentagon Papers, Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Vietnam War, Hippie Movement, American-North Korean conflict) you plunge into his life and let his background voice tell you his marvelous story, with emotion and humour.
I can’t more recommend you see this cult piece of art, with this story and a beautiful soundtrack.

Forrest Gump (1994)
Trivia: The park bench that Tom Hanks sat on for much of the movie was located in historic Savannah, Georgia, at Chippewa Square. The fiberglass bench he sat on, since then, has been removed and placed into a museum to avoid being destroyed by bad weather, or possibly stolen. The church where the feather first falls was about 100 yards just down the street from the bench. To this day, the bench is held in the Savannah History Museum, Savannah, Georgia. #forrestgump#robertzemeckis#tomhanks#sallyfield#robinwright#garysinise#mykeltiwilliamson#movie#film#cinema
